Installing Cable Assemblies
CAUTION

with power turned off.
Connecting the Motor Control
Cable
Motor control cables are supplied in four lengths, 6 ft
(1.8 m), 9 ft (2.7 m), 15 ft (4.6 m), and 55 ft (16.8). The
55 ft cable may be used by itself. The 6 ft, 9 ft, and 15 ft
cable must be used with the 55 ft cable.
To connect the motor cable between the control assem-
bly and the orbital dispenser, do the following:
1. Locate the receptacle on the bottom of the control
assembly that is labeled MOTOR CABLE. See F
8.

•
Keep cables from rubbing against other components
or machinery.
•
If a lot of robot wrist motion is required, leave suffi-
cient cable length to allow for the motion, avoiding
any cable droops that may interfere with the machin-
ery or substrate.
•
Route and secure the 7 in. motor cable to minimize
any movement. The 7 in. motor cable is not
intended to handle severe flexing motions.
•
Cable ties should only be used to loosely bundle
hoses together. Do not tighten cable ties to the point
where cable movement is restricted.
